  1. I see your points for sure. It's a play on words, obviously....6th St Journal-Wall St Journal. Im sure the business end of the board is at odds with the charm end of an "if you know you know" conundrum. In my day 6th st was legendary and outside of the several niche bars, it was the go-to, though I likely skew older than the avg Surler. I would imagine as we attract lurkers from the SEC, they will think its a bar/entertainment forum and then see its more about business and move along. I dont think, and i could be wrong, many SEC football types will come back to this site for non-football /recruiting, but I know that's the point....to create engagement across a spectrum of disciplines and thus retention. We all get it, but we know the history of ATX and will stay here b/c the content across the site is outstanding...I may be in the minority, but I rarely use Reddit, as I can get all I need right here.
  2. FWIW I like the name 6th Street Journal.
  3. You've probably not wandered over to the "Id Pee in Her Butt" thread i take it.
  4. May not be germane to the question, but financial literacy is a problem for many. The old adage is more people spend time on planning their vacation than planning their financial future. My feeling is people are intimidated by the markets and maybe a bit apathetic about finances. WIth the run up in home values, people think they have it made since their home is worth so much, so they spend all of their disposable and dont take the time to study. I really like this board and dont get over here as much as other boards, but i always come away with better perspective. My personal top board list, approximately (though you may have better stats on me than me): 1. Daily Texan 2. Football goes to #1 in season 3. Recruiting 4. Baseball in season 5. Movies/6th st/travel
  5. Im 54 and been pounding Index funds since i got out of Texas. I didnt start being able to save money until I was 25, so figure appx 30 years of Index buying and holding. Almost entirely S&P 500, with the exception of 10% of the nest egg in cash (probably more than what is recommended). The strategy has served me well; without going in to too much detail, we should be fine. Buy and hold, dollar cost averaging, only time I sold was right after 9/11 and I was late to sell. Got it all back of course. Fortunately my company has a defined pension...that plus SS and savings and wife is realtor (she'll do that forever).... trying to go another 7 years before heading to the house. I think the Boglehead strategy is not sexy and wont win the dinner conversation, but i come from the millionaire next door ethos where its best to sit back and let others discuss the next big stock pick and bide my time. Full disclosure, I will say i have one IRA from my wife's previous employer where i own microsoft, Meta, apple , amazon and AMC (got caught up in the meme options mania), plus an inherited IRA with Vanguard in their inflation protected bond fund tied to 10 yr.... been a dog lately but with the 10yr under 4, it should start a price increase trend. Other than that, im all S&P. Good luck!

  8. We've had our moments. At ISU comes to mind, nice road win. 4th quarter Bama game says hello, 7 minutes of smash mouth to ice it. We won two other games last year with Malik Murphy at QB1...the OL played pretty damn good ball in both of those games. Sugar Bowl vs UGA was a great game for the OL , as was 49-0 OU. And thats just off the top of my head. Our OL play has been markedly better in the Sark era and Herman had a couple decent lines all things considered
  9. Wow, this the Red Wedding Israeli-style.
  10. Body like Tarzan, played like Jane
  11. Agreed. The college basketball/March Madness references were funny/cringy. It comes up twice at least, with highlights and actual game footage. They are trying to pass it off as right in the middle of the sweet 16, but clearly one of the games they show is the SEC tournament, then later they show a game @ Duke, and its clearly a Duke home game. Kind of one Easter egg they might should have covered their tracks a little better.
  12. Does flav have that kind of disposable coin? Last i heard of him he was on MTV celebrity version of big brother, trying to bang Sly Stallone’s ex, Bridgette Nielson.
  13. Yeah she's a super talent, have always liked her. Not digging the Peyton/Tirico/Clarkson team. About as exciting and engaging as watching paint dry.
  14. i prefer yellow peppers
  15. Thanks for the rec, watched it last night while Mrs, jdhorn92 (no pics) was out. Very entertaining.
  16. I give the French a pass on their WWII performance, which is the general origin of this surrender mindset. They were out general'd by the Nazis and pulling out of Dunkirk was not their best day, but they deserve a tip of the cap for what they did for us in the Revolutionary War. Lafayette was a stud and we owe them a great debt of gratitude. Going bk to support the upstarts led to their own revolution. The French resistance in the European Theater was bold and courageous and should not be discounted once they were occupied.
  17. He was a friend of mine.
  18. Ill take a stab at the questions. Maybe she got hungry, its really not germane WHY she was boiling water; maybe she works nights and is getting ready for work. Agreed, its not relevant. She called the cops for a possible intruder investigation according to news reports. They asked for ID to make sure it's her home and she's not the intruder. No excuse to be aggressive here imo. Agreed, the door was right behind them, much better option was to back out of the house get the taser out and bring her to the ground assuming she pursues. Agree with others, he will be found guilty. No excuse and one more horrible senseless act by a leo. Damn shame. He even dismisses the first aid the other officer started to retrieve.
  19. we have a friend who has a son(10 or so) named Robert , goes by Rob. Every time he's over I feel like we should be talking out 401K's. Dont see too many 10 year olds these days named Rob.
  20. Yep and what likely got him shot is he switched the gun to the other hand out of view of the driver, after he hits the door handle with it.....and then raises the right hand (the original gun hand) after switching the gun to the left hand and points his finger.....its at that moment he is forever muted.
  21. Ill buy that. Thank you. Sometimes Im guilty of the silo mentality....not my problem in a sense.
  22. Meh to the list. Happy is happy. I don’t need someone else telling me about my quality of life. I think we all have it pretty damn good.
  23. Heading to Galleria area tomorrow from Dallas for a meeting Wed. Marriott West Loop has power, hoping i dont run into a bunch of bs trying to get around. How is that area?
  24. Only thing i can think of is the snipers thought they had a great vantage point of it, between the two teams of two, i bet they felt like there is no way someone is getting on that roof without us seeing him. They got lazy i think and all it took was a minute.
  25. ill put it over there if i can
